Erica sat in the apartment watching her sister and thinking about all the things Lauren had been through. She knew that she'd only just found her real happiness with Harry and that it had taken a long time . Erica knew how much Harry had changed Lauren, how much he'd taught her to trust herself again or how he'd taught her to Laugh again. Erica also knew there was something else going on . She was beginning to wonder if Harry and Lauren were going to make it. Erica picked up the text book she was reading walked into the kitchen and pulled her dinner from the oven still all of this in her mind. Lauren walked in behind her slamming the door to the kitchen. Erica thought back to the day they moved in here just over a year ago that was the day she got her finger caught in this door but this thought was interrupted by Lauren thinking aloud.

Lauren Davis was ranting about everything she wanted to know why and how Daniel was allowed to live anywhere near her after all he'd done to her. Lauren was angry as Hell and was letting Erica know it. Lauren decided to through the glass she had in her hand and did so only yo wind up getting cut by the shattering glass, but she didn't even seem to notice . Lauren was standing there shaking when Erica walked over to her and sat down on the floor with her. Lauren sat there babbling brokenly about how could she not know that he was living so close to her . How the police had told her where he was staying after all she had the restraining order out and he had severed five years in the prison hospital's mental ward after the whole three month disaster by in 2000 she told her sister. All Erica could do was sit there and wonder how the justice system could have failed her sister yet again wasn't it enough that there was nothing they could do to stop this Daniel guy , but then there was the missing child, the baby that was taken from her crib then there was this. Where did she find the strength to live through this and still go on everyday Eric wondered.

Meanwhile down at the police station Daniel was intergated while another officer was talking to Dana Poole about what had happened that night as one of Daniel victims. Little did Dana know that less than an hour later she'd be brought back to police sation . Only this time she'd be in her own set of hand cuff and would have had her rights read to her. Daniel Evan sat in a small room a cop in front of him and another monitoring him from behind the glass but he didn't care he couldn't live with himself anymore. As much as he wanted it be true he knew Lauren Davis would never love him. He snarled the words .The only reason she was with me for that short time was because she was playing some kind of game with Senate. I'd already been stalking her for five years at the time as we all know but, what you don't know is that I was the one who attacked her back in 1997. Daniel Evans was in the middle of a complete mental break down and was telling everything. The officer he was taking the statement looked as though he could walk right through him as the first question was asked . Daniel 's lawyer had been there with him the whole time and had witnessed the whole thing from the ranting to the confession. As he'd advised him to do.

Officer: where you involved with the assault of Lauren Davis on Nov.30th of this year

Daniel: yes.

Officer: what happened and be as honest as possible!

Officer: where you involved with beating her , raping her or terrorizing her on that day or in the weeks just prior to this attack.

Daniel: all of it officer he spoke as thought he was sickened by what he's done.

Officer: we know there were other's involved tell us who they are and we might can work out a deal with you the officer told him with no intentions of working out any kind of deal with this guy .

Daniel: Dana Poole hired Jon Erickson and myself to do all this but somewhere along the way Dana laid in on her beating her up while other things was going on if you know what I mean.

Officer: you mean while you where raping her .

Daniel: Yes

Officer: who stabbed her ?

Daniel : Dana.

Officer : why did this Dana what this done to the victim?

Daniel: because she wanted Lauren out of the way so she could get Harry Senate.

Officer: why did you take Ms Poole hostage ?

Daniel because I was trying to get her to confess to all of this.

Officer : are you sure about this ?

Daniel : yes.

The officers pounded on Dana Poole's front door when they went to her apartment . Dana answered the door in pulling her robe tight around her. Ms. Poole you need to come with us you have been implicated in the attack on Lauren Davis. We also have a search warrant for your apartment so please come with us. Dana looked at the officer ' May I least put on some clothes as you can see I was just getting out of the shower." Yes 5 min and officer Adams will go with you." It was as Dana was coming out of the bedroom that three sets of bloody clothes were brought out of Dana's bathroom with a knife in the pocket it too still bloody. The female officer looked over at Dana and just shook her head thinking of all the stupid thing I have every seen this takes the cake. First she plans the crime and then she chickens out before she can complete it. Or did something else happen but the officer would say anything . If she did she'd loose her job and most likely put the case in jeopardy and she wanted to see justice in this case . The chief of detectives snapped the cuffs on Dana's wrist and looked and her tears in her eyes. "Dana I have known you since you were born where did you start to go wrong"She asked softly . Clearing her throat of the knot that was in it she read Dana her rights and told her what she was being arrested for as another officer took Dana by the arm and walked her to an awaiting car. Dana arrived at the police station just in time to see Daniel Evans being taken from his integration room to his cell. Dana being her old self denied it all but, to implicated the third person involved Jon Erickson and to admit she saw the two leave the classroom. It was 2:45 on the morning of Dec 4th when Dana Poole was arrested in connection with the attack on Lauren Davis.

It had been one of those morning around the Davis- Miller house both had overslept and were going to be late. Lauren really didn't want to hear Scott 's lecture on being on time this morning and Erica knew that Louisa would give her an earful for being late . It was 7:15 and they knew they had 15 minutes to get dressed and get to Winslow to avoid this. It was when they arrived still 5 minutes early they saw something that was weird for even Winslow . Scott's monkey was loose and up the flagpole. It was the first time in what seemed forever Lauren had really laughed. She didn't know what was funnier the monkey up the flag pole, the fact that it had a pair of Scott's lavender striped boxer shorts or that it had three grown men chasing it and making complete fools of themselves. Lauren watched as they all did thinking only at Winslow.
